40:17 Q&A
World-renowned intellectual Jeffrey Sachs will speak on “The Path to Peace in Ukraine". Sachs was twice named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time and ranked by The Economist among the top three most influential living economists. He will be joined by University of Ottawa Ukraine expert Ivan Katchanovski who will provide background on the conflict in Ukraine as well as context around Canada's role.
***
BACKGROUND
Recently, the Canadian government called for regime change in Moscow and openly opposed China’s call for a truce and negotiations. At the same time Canada has donated more than $2 billion in arms to Ukraine.
Alongside large amounts of weapons, Canada is sharing critical military intelligence and training Ukrainian troops while Canadian special forces and former troops operate in Ukraine.
Russia’s war is illegal and brutal and Ottawa contributed to provoking this horrible conflict through its role in promoting NATO expansion, helping oust elected president Victor Yanukovich and military assistance that undermined the Minsk II peace accord.
It’s time the Canadian government pushed for a truce and negotiations to end the horrors.
***
SPEAKERS
Jeffrey D. Sachs is a professor and the Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, where he directed the Earth Institute from 2002 until 2016. His most recent book is ‘The Ages of Globalization: Geography, Technology, and Institutions’ (2020). Sachs was twice named as one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential world leaders and was ranked by The Economist among the top three most influential living economists.
Ivan Katchanovski is a University of Ottawa professor who has published four books and numerous articles including “The far right, the Euromaidan, and the Maidan massacre in Ukraine” and “The hidden origin of the escalating Ukraine-Russia conflict”.

Dear Prof. Sachs, writing from Germany I want to thank you so much for your clear words !, We citizens here are not at all only children, we who dear to think ourselves, who can see, watch, listen to, … so many already completely lost trust In our governments… it is such a shame…. Please never stop to speak up, we need your voice so urgently, before our country gets completely bankrupt…
I live in Germany and I despair at the levels of serfdom and russophobia displayed by media such as DW. I hope voices like Oskar Lafointaine's gain more and more traction with the public.
@@BluesManPeich Ich schlage einfach vor, im September wählen zu gehen! AFD liegt hinter CDU auf Rang 2, die Grünen sind eh abgewählt, die machen noch 2 Jahre dann würden die nie über die 5 Prozent kommen, Spd kann dann froh sein wenn sie die 5 Prozent knackt und FPD auch, aber wer würde noch die Grünen wählen nach Skandale über Skandale niemand. Die Wähler würden nie für dumm verkauft werden, weil sie nicht dumm sind. Bis dahin wird analena noch ein Kind bekommen und zurücktreten das wars genauso wie Fäser und Lambrecht vorher......solche peinliche leute sind verdammt wie Edathy und Oppermann die Pädophilen fraktion damals
Why German minister don't speak up?
What happens if German don't buy Russian oil?
What if Germany becomes too dependent on China market?
Comment please
What’s so good about your democracy then? Why don’t you exercise your “rights” & do something to change things? Feeling helpless? Then stop supporting a system that doesn’t work & condemning others for not adopting this pathetic system
@@BluesManPeich I also think that russophobia does not help at all, and I wonder why the Gorbienthusiasm of the late 80s and early 90s has gone. The German reunification was only possible because the Soviets decided to let that happen and to remove 500.000 troops from East Germany in the following years.
Professor Sachs is amazing. After watching many of his addresses, it’s clear he seems more frustrated with the entire situation. Keep your wits about you Professor, people need to hear more truth bombs.
@@civildesobidience Let's get one thing straight--Jeffrey Sachs has been talking about finding peaceful settlement of this conflict--something any sane person should want. Clearly what you have presented has nothing to consider as far as peace is concerned, since by the 2nd paragraph, they are already talking about Yanukovich's SIN from an AMERICAN perspective, that being he was looking for neutrality. Oh I didn't know Ukraine has a border with the United States! WOW!! This narrative is weak and set up by the NEOCONS and WAR MONGERS in the collective west who have been playing their games with regime change.
So I am afraid you better run along and keep your damn article, try pedaling it to someone else, son.

Dear Dr. Sachs,
We are a group of economists, including many Ukrainians, who were appalled by your statements on the Russian war against Ukraine and were compelled to write this open letter to address some of the historical misrepresentations and logical fallacies in your line of argument. Following your repeated appearances on the talk shows of one of the chief Russian propagandists, Vladimir Solovyov (apart from calling to wipe Ukrainian cities off the face of the earth, he called for nuclear strikes against NATO countries), we have reviewed the op-eds on your personal website and noticed several recurring patterns. In what follows, we wish to point out these misrepresentations to you, alongside our brief response.

He's compromised, what Russians and Chinese would call & charge with in their country is the Foreign Agent Law.
It's not the majority of Americans that believe this. It is Biden and his administration, and the owners of the news media in the US that merely propagates the dishonesty and falsehoods that support the US oil and gas industries, and the military defense industries. Simply put money talks and controls both the US political system and the news media. So, almost no one learns the truth and when they do learn the truth, they are powerless.
Jeffrey Sachs is Putin's bitch. He isn't on mainstream media because he spouts Putin talking points. Anyone with 2 brain cells has figured out NATO expansion is Putin's excuse, and has nothing to do with reality. If NATO were a problem, Russia would have to invade Finland now that Finland is in NATO. Absurd.
In addition, when nations join together for protection against the bully, the bully has no say in who joins. This defies logic.

Sensational talk by Sachs. As was to be expected from him. Shame that so few Americans have the courage - or brains - to acknowledge US attempts to preserve domination at any cost.
But through sanctions it's definitely losing its dominance. Through the eye of a blind man.
what about the Russian.
Several of them have spoken up but everyone knows what happens to them. There is no freedom of speech in Russia - not of the sort there is in the US, of course - but to choose to remain silent when you can and should speak.... @@marygracedindin2957

Thank you Jeffrey Sachs! Brilliant!
World and people of Ukraine need to here more voices like this, thanks
Sach's voice is Putin's voice.
Finally here comes a person who has had the opportunity to walk in the corridors of power and chooses to speak out and then share what he knows with his fellow men. Thank you Professor Sachs.
Prof Sachs , continue to tell the truth to Americans and the world despite many oppositions and odds against you!
I hope Americans overwhelmingly do not listen to Kremlin agents. The main thing is that the US government does not listen to them.
Can we start a movement in all the colleges “Nobel Prize nomination of Jeffrey Sachs”? He deserves it!
More like the Order of Lenin
In 1957, Canadian Foreign Minister Lester B. Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in helping create the UN peacekeeping force and defusing the 1956 Suez Crisis. The 1972 Summit Hockey Series between Canada and the USSR was a foundational initiative that helped with Canada’s credibility in terms of international relations. Canada refused to join “the coalition of the willing” and did not declare war against Iraq in 2003 due to the lack of a UN Security Council resolution. Canada can stand on its own for peace. Trudeau is clearly an US stooge based on his record. Sad.
Trudeau needs to be removed from office for lies and deception. Either the Liberal Party can clip his wings or the Canadian people will!
Thanks for the insight
But now I see Canada is one of the most Russophobic nation and doing what US orders
Canada only exists because the USA allows it.
Incredibly useful and new information to me. Thank you!
Such a great show, and discussion👍. The United States has lost itself 👎
And Canada is following its blind lead.
Unfortunately!
Honesty, integrity and courage define Professor Sachs!
Brilliant analysis Professor Sachs, a chilling account.
Thank you Prof Sachs as usual for your truthful and great insight on this important issue.
I am Ukrainian.Surprised you speak loud the truth. How many people can hear you.God bless you.Thank you so much.Praying for you.
Path to peace in Ukraine does not go through any western capital, including and specially Kiev and Washington.
With the latest round of peace proposals being pressed by multiple analysts, it’s worth remembering that all these supposed solutions for “lasting peace” are actually formulas for three things:
• Dividing Ukraine
• Preventing Ukraine from entering NATO
• Giving Russia a chance to rebuild their military
@@christianevanherck6023 Ukraine is divided since it declared independence. Look at any elections in Ukraine before 2014. The war began when one part of Ukraine usurped power illegally with western help and money. When Ukraine declared independence in 1991, there was a promise about it's neutral status, equal rights for Russians and a status for Russian language. NATO is not an option. And Russia has enough military including nuclear weapons. It's too late to dream to weaken Russia militarily.
@@Abulb99 I live in Crimea. Again, use google and check any Ukrainian elections in 2012 or before.
There was no ethnic conflict because radical nationalists and banderites were a minority before they seized power with violence and western support in 2014. Political parties from south-east Ukraine were in fact destroyed with violence. Of course, people protested. There was no any Russian invasion in 2014 There was a violent coup in Kiev. Crimea and Donbass refused to recognize the illegal government
@@indycoon You're wasting your time if you think you can mislead readers this way, by now everyone is familiar with all those typical Russian propaganda narratives, or you're just doing your job working at the trollfactory. Russia tried to get Yanukovich elected in 2004, and that fraud triggered the Orange Revolution. After 2004, Russia began a campaign to create separatist movements in Donbas and cranked up the propaganda targeted at those areas. After Russia got Yanukovich elected in 2010, Russia controlled Ukraine.
@@indycoon By definition, a coup is when members of a country’s political elite, most often military officers, seize power by force. That is not what happened in Kyiv in 2014. Yanukovych was not removed as the result of machinations of his country’s political or military elite. He provoked protests through his own actions (refusing to sign an EU association agreement he had promised for years and then violently cracking down on protesters), and then planned to flee the capital, apparently hoping he could rebuild his power base outside Kyiv until planned December 2014 elections. Instead, his allies abandoned him, and so he abandoned Ukraine.
Thank you so much for this lecture. I hope a lot of people to see it
This is an incredible talk by Jeffrey Sachs as well as Ivan Katchanovski. The mediator, Bianca Mugyenyi, is also great.

Thank you for this show. Respect to the panelists. Bravo 👏
Thank you Jeffrey and Ivan for your clear discussion of the origins and status of the Ukraine conflict! Your voices along with a few others - John Mearsheimer and others - speak truth to power totally avoided by the mainstream press. The triumph over the independent press by interests friendly corporate neocons followed weakening or removal of rules against consolidation of media ownership under Reagan-Clinton. The only way to get independent information about current affairs uncensored by corporate media is through discussions like this.
Agree. I would also recommend Nicolai Petro and Richard Sakwa.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE ,
How Jeffry here just cherry pick john Mearsheimer's theory without mentioning the name.
what a champ.
😂😂😂
Professor Sachs lied here several time. He knows that by the way, just like Prof. Mearsheimer does. Russia demanded NATO not to expand at all, not just to Ukraine, justifying it by ... whatever. With Finland joining NATO, we see that Putin has been lying about the danger of NATO to Russia. He knew best that NATO was the least of any danger to Russia. That's why Putin moved all his battle-capable troops from the 1250km-long Finnish border and 12k soldiers from Kaliningrad (the Russian enclave in Central Europe surrounded by NATO countries for more than a decade) to Ukraine in 2022, where they all KIA, wounded or became POWs already. What is Finland now? It's 64x F-35s, fifth-gen air fighter bombers, which would need 45 min to get to Russia's St. Petersburg or 45 min to Murmansk, a Naval base with nuclear submarines. Is Russia going to invade Finland? Ukraine was not going to be admitted to NATO with France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands and Turkey completely opposing it. It was another lie and excuse for Putin to invade Ukraine.
No one on Earth makes any danger to the thermonuclear superpower Russia... Except for China, the only country to attack Russia since 1941, in 1969.
Not to be mentioned that it is not a NATO expansion; it is sovereign nations applying to join NATO. Counties can decide what to join)
@@kuyre2239 where's an example? Or did you think that just sounded good

Very unfortunate that Canada is involved in this.

Unfortunate is putting it mildly.
Canada has huge & indoctrinated Ukrainian diaspore, and the High Priestess of Ukrainian Nationalists, a granddaughter of a Ukrainian Nazi collaborator, Chrystia Freeland, is Canada's Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance. A truly diabolical, wicked witch she is.

Each time I listen to Professor Sachs, he sounds more clear, more insightful, shares more information. This talk again makes me see him as the most important voice for poor ignorant Americans to hear, if only they would. This time he cites sources, quotes, to convince even the most cable news saturated minds.

With Jeffrey Sachs’ CV he should be an advisor in EVERY government!
Prof Sach, a rare clear and rational intellectual in today’s dangerous world.
Professors Sacks and Mearsheimer are liars, and they know that well.
This Ivan just lying all the lies covered by "I am a Ukrainian". The massacre in Kyiv was organized by not only Yanukovich, by Putin's FSB, approved by Putin. There were never any separatism in Ukraine apart from what Moscow instigated, organized, facilitated, commanded and controlled.
@@civildesobidience Sorry, read the letter in German and forgot to give my reply in English.
Most of the points the authors make, no one seriously doubts. But: As western media, many points that are worth talking about, they do not even mention. The tale of "heroic Euro- Maidan" for example just does not even touch reality. And saying, the US- administration had nothing to do with the developments is just a bad joke.
The authors as we in the west, just deny the existence of pro- russian Ukrainians, especially in the eastern Oblasts and how they were treated by Kiew´s authorities between 2014 and 2022. The authors don`t have to "read tis and learn", as they are self- declared pro Ukrainian. But maybe you should.
It is not rational to regurgitate Putin talking points. It is evil
HE CANT EVEN TALK. HE IS JUST A PAID RUSSAIN PROPAGANDIST
Respect to Prof Sachs! He knows his politics and it's a pleasure to listen to him! I support his views 100%. The other speaker didn't say anything new... just conventional wisdom of the "west", besides it was really hard to understand him!
Excellent.
Over 450 people is an impressive turnout, congratulations CFPI.
Jeff saying Canada is better than this; well I don't know that Canada actually is. Increased military spending, billions of dollars going into Ukraine in various forms including equipment donations (necessitating the purchase of replacements), calling Russia "our enemy," and so on. Maybe decades ago Canada could have pretended to be a peacekeeper, a voice of reason, or some such thing, but that is long gone.
Canada is the people living there...period...not Trudeau...citizens is canada. I recieve massive hate for speaking my opinions....Russian media os fully blocked to Canadians... my social media comments are ghosted deleted or I get banned. Canada is better than what?
I totally agree. Chrystia Freeland will never let the Canadian position on Ukraine budge.
Canada is just a vassal state. Both to US and Uk
Ukraine is a multiethnic democratic nation whose elites and governments mostly spoke and spoke the Russian language at work and at home. Far-right have never influenced Ukraine's policies, unlike in Russia, where Nazi-bolshevik (Nazbols) took over and ruled the country for at least two decades, waging at least five wars. Moreover, there were never any organised separatist movements in Ukraine (even in Crimea) other than those that were organised, supplied, commanded and controlled by Moscow. Ever. Russia carefully planned the hybrid war on Ukraine since 2005. Russia invaded Ukraine in Crimea around 5 a.m. on 20 Feb 2014, when the Russian Special operation forces (CCO) entered Simferopol, Sebastopol and the cities near major Ukrainian military bases, ceased the govt offices and arrested officials and officers loyal to Ukraine. That all had begun before President Yanukovych signed the agreement with the parliamentarian opposition at 4 p.m. on 21 Feb 2021.
Why?
Putin wanted to take over 10 eastern and southern oblasts of Ukraine, cutting Ukraine from the sea. But he failed to do so in 2014, so he began the war in the parts of the Donbas. April - August 2014 Russia mostly used proxies, mercenaries, and spetsnaz in the Donbas. But, when Putin realised that the Ukrainians were taking their cities back, he moved regular Rus armies in and shot the MH-17 down. Thus Russia forced Ukraine to stop and sign the Minks agreements. Then, using both Minks, Putin wanted to insert those two small regions (even now, 1/2 of the entire Donbas by territory) back into Ukraine.
Why?
Those two big cities and towns around them were too small for Putin to annex (although both officially requested him for that in May 2014). So instead, he wanted to legalise them in Ukrainian politics, but with all Russian mercenaries and two army corps stationed in Luhansk and Donetsk, but commanded and controlled by Moscow. Of course, he wanted to keep control over the Ukr / Rus border to himself. He thought that would allow him totally control Ukraine.
When in 2019, he realised that his plan to control Ukraine via those two proxies was failing, he began planning the full-scale invasion, which he started on 24 Feb 2022 and wanted to complete by the end of March 2022 by replacing all the central and regional Ukrainian governments (regime change in Ukraine), by imprisoning and killing all Ukrainian patriots, subjugating Kyiv to Moscow.
Why?
After Ukraine, he would go and take over Moldova in one-two day. Then he would re-establish USSR2.0 of some sort or a resurrected Russian empire, which would include Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Russia. Perhaps, some northern parts of Kazakhstan.
Why?
Professor Sachs lied here several times. He knows that, by the way, just like Prof. Mearsheimer does. Russia demanded NATO not to expand at all, not just to Ukraine, justifying it by ... whatever. With Finland joining NATO, we see that Putin has been lying about the danger of NATO to Russia. He knew best that NATO was the least of any threat to Russia.

I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for globalist oligarchs.

Thank you Mr. Jeffrey Sachs!
Always worth the while hearing Jeffrey Sach’s opinion. For his own familiarity and past involvement with events leading up to dissolution of the former USSR, he speaks with great authority.
Yes, he has much experience with Russia, as he is the economist most responsible for the modern status of Russia with its kleptocratic government and all the Oligarchs running the country. That was the inevitable outcome of his "Shock Therapy" on a country that had essentially no middle class and no ideas about market economics. I'm sure he benefited greatly from all the Oligarchs he helped create, but I don't think the Russian people or Ukrainian people have benefited from Sach's existence.

"If we want peace, we actually have to tell the truth" nicely put. Like I've been saying Ottawa is so far up Washington's butt, GPS couldn't find it. Really appreciate the research done by Professor Ivan Katchanovski. Thank you sir.
Sane and sober
We really have to cherish these people who never end up on payrolls of the military industrial complex, big pharma, Gates and/or Soros. Thank you so much for your efforts
Somebody please, tell the Neocons to stop this bloody war!
what a brilliant man !
Good Sir Jeffrey ... bravo keep it up
Excellent narrative, literature and interview from
Jeffrey Sachs. Amazing history facts of the whole Coup, thank you so much! We now have final awareness of the whole truth!
Jeffrey is such a good man. Unfortunately, people ignore gems like this
Few are exposed to men like Mr Sachs . Please spread the word .
Sachs gives the Ukrainians no agency. He takes the side of Putin. Can you imagine what a horror it is for Ukrainians to have any part of their land subjected to Russky Mir? Anyplace the Russians touch is destroyed. What is Sachs proposing to negotiate away? Does he know about Stalin deporting 200 000 Crimean Tatars in 1944? Does he know that wars of aggression are war crimes? The reason Sachs isn't on mainstream media is because he is a Putin puppet. He is in the tankie group with Mearsheimer, Chomsky, and Tucker Carlson.
He's good for the Kremlin and that's about it.
@@christianevanherck6023First: good for US and Europe!
Are you crao? This war is just kills people and we waste money. The war is lost for USA,!
Thanks for having Jeffrey Sachs on.
Thank you Jeffery
Professor Sachs, thank you very much!
Respect for those who speak the truth!❤
True! And there's none of it on this trash
I've been waiting for a channel like CFPI for years now. Thank you for finally existing! Like & subscribed & donations forthcoming!
Thank you!
Thank you for very intelligent interview and the truth. I hope we have some time to revind the clock back to the negotiations and diplomacy.
For the Kremlin, negotiations are purely for show. Throughout the war, Russian officials have given inconsistent statements about Moscow’s aims, about Ukrainian proposals, and about the prospects for a cease-fire, a summit meeting between Putin and Zelensky, or an ultimate peace deal. Several times, different high-level Russian officials have contradicted each other.
Thank you for the truth!!!
That is very good again Sir Jeffrey.. good analysis .....
(Do not do unto others what you do not want others do unto you)
Dr Sach is among of the few that tells the true about that war
Professor Sachs is truly a man of honour. He is surely disappointed that politicians in the U.S., Canadian, and other Western countries have no moral and are so reckless and ruthless.
I second that opinion about Prof.Sachs! I respect his insight & integrity!
Your are hero for me, thnx.
What a great interview! I am glad I watched it.
Please Jeffrey Sachs go up to be President of America we need peace ,if leave it to Biden we will finish up with a nuclear war, Please Jeffrey step forward and be our leaders for peace
in team Kennedy!! RFKjr24 💗🍀
Kennedy agrees with Jeffrey Sachs on this issue
@CFPI The auto generated subtitles are better than the embedded one - those are completely broken. Subtitles are important to understand Prof. Ivan Katchanovski. Thanks!
I found myself agree with everything Prof Sachs says, all the time.
thank you man jeffery and evan
Тот момент, когда профессор Сакс понимает русских лучше, чем русскоговорящий Ваня. Хотя если посмотреть на место рождения Вани, всё становится понятно
Не все готовы быть героями. Этот Ваня явно озабочен получением премий, званий и т.д. Смелые только те, кто уже в отставке.
К его части, про насилие на Майдане он спокойно говорит правду
I find Jeffrey Sachs so validating. When this war started, and as it continues, I keep thinking this is complete insanity.
No. He is liar. And he know that, but it's too late for him to turn back.
Prof Sachs lied here several times. He knows that, by the way, just like Prof. Mearsheimer does.
Russia demanded NATO not to expand at all, not just to Ukraine, justifying it by ... whatever. With Finland joining NATO, we see that Putin has been lying about the danger of NATO to Russia. He knew best that NATO was the least of any threat to Russia. That's why Putin moved all his battle-capable troops from the 1250km-long Finnish border and 12k soldiers from Kaliningrad (the Russian enclave in Central Europe surrounded by NATO countries for more than a decade) to Ukraine in 2022, where they all KIA, wounded or became POWs already. What is Finland now? It's 64x F-35s, fifth-gen air fighter bombers, which would need 45 minutes to get to Russia's St. Petersburg or 45 minutes to Murmansk, a Naval base with nuclear submarines. Is Russia going to invade Finland? Ukraine would not be admitted to NATO, with France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands and Turkey completely opposing it. So it was another lie and excuse for Putin to invade Ukraine.
No one on Earth makes any danger to the thermonuclear superpower Russia... Except for China, the only country to attack Russia since 1941, in 1969.
Not to be mentioned that it is not a NATO expansion; it is sovereign nations applying to join NATO. Counties can decide what to join)
Likewise, and the response from Europe has been equally insane. I still have trouble trying to figure out just why they are prepared to wreck their country for the benefit of the US. Unless that is, that they were promised big things from the US, like parts of Russia.

Ukraine is a shining beacon of democracy for the world. It deserves to continue to exist. And if Ukraine is victorious, it will show the world that authoritarians will lose when confronted with a freedom-loving people and global allies who refuse to stand aside when crimes against humanity are committed.

That's a superb analysis. If only we had listened to them.
The Ukrainians and the entire world have paid a terrible price for this recklessness and pigheadedness.
Make no mistake, Ukraine cannot win this war. That's the military reality, whether we like it or not.
It's time to negotiate. This terrible war must end.
@@civildesobidience thanks for the link. I will.
@@civildesobidience I read the letter. And I remain convinced that Sachs is right. First...the expansion of NATO is the fundamental issue. If you can't see that, I don't know what to say.
Ukraine was in a state of civil war. Since the fire at the Trades Union Hall. The West armed and trained Ukranians. Russia did the same in the East. It was a very divided country.
Peace talks are inevitable. This war can't go on.
There is a fascist element in Ukraine. It's not large, but it certainly exists.
Russia is biding its time. The Finland Sweden will be part of the eventual settlement. Demilitarisation probably. Well see. Russia will demand very comprehensive scope of settlement.
Ukrainian sovereignty. Not legally established under international law. Regardless. Real world, too bad. Neutrality and autonomous. Independence ok. But no NATO. Sorry. That's just the way it is. See the Monroe Doctrine.
Russia will keep Ukraine. Just a reality. The way it is going to go. Sevastopol and the other two big bases. Hawaii...Pearl Harbor. No Belt and Road for Hawaii. Too bad. Real world.
Russia commits war crimes, is a bad actor, is dishonest.
So is the US. Too bad. Reality bites.
The point about Prof Sachs is that he is a realist, not an ideologue.
It's clear to me that Ukraine should have accepted Minsk II.
This war could have been avoided. There are many aspects of the situation here that are imorral and wrong. But there is nothing more wrong and immoral than this war! It has destroyed Ukraine! Damaged the world. Endangers global security. Caused multiple crises.
What will be left of Ukraine after this. For the rest of our lives it will be a disaster area. Was it worth it? The Ukranians fought with such valour, bravery and determination. They have suffered so much. They are a magnificent people.
But they made the terrible mistake of following NATO down the path to destruction. It's an absolute tragedy.
More like the worlds 2nd most powerful military cannot capture Avdiivka in 9 years, wtf :D

The only man that will always tell the brutal and honest truth! Thanks Jeffrey for enlightens the world!
This talk should be mandatory listening for all Canadian politicians and Canada should STOP funding and sending weapons to the Ukraine.
Congratulations to Professor Jeffrey Sachs, to Professor Ivan Katchanovski and to the Canadian Foreigh Policy Institute. Thank you to the brilliant moderator, Biana Mugyenyi.
starts @ 6:40 Jeffrey Sachs is right on!
Mr. Sachs serves as an economic advisor to Gorbi, Gorbi's government fails miserably on the economic front. Mr. Sachs advises Eltsin, Eltsin's govt fails... Mr. Sachs advises Yushhenko's government - well, you guessed the outcome. Mr. Sachs's got quite a career record!
So what, if they didn´t listen to his advice....
@@stefanh.5543 The problem is they did.
@@stefanh.5543 You're funny.
@@stefanh.5543
Well, it's hard to say. On one hand Sachs and the other 3 Harvard Boys (Russia 1991) were "shock therapists", their plan in my opinion was bad from the start.
But as Sachs points out, not even the shock therapy plan was allowed to happen.
The US refused to give any monetary aid to Russia to help it transition to capitalism, despite claiming that's what it wanted. So Russia fell into a decade of despair.
It is the duty of the people people to select the right kind of leader for the nation. Thanks
The world can't afford any more insane actions. Everybody needs to stand up and protest whether these are the issue of wars, climate change and economic deprivation. Salute to those who are raising voices in this dark era.
Thanks for this. Appreciate hearing Jeffrey Sachs' personal experience.
Dr.r. Sacks and Mearsheimer are lairs, and know it well. Mearsheimer didn't want to lie, unlike Sacks (who lied from the beginning), but you can't serve the evel and try avoid generating lies, so they do.
Thanks, Dr. Sacks! Great analysis, as usual
Unfortunately, Ivan doesn't know what he's talking about, when he's dating that there was no war in Donbass since 2014!
Prof. Sachs is hero, he deserves peace award of the century. I respect him so much.
Sachs is a monster Putin apologist.
Lesley Stahl: "We have heard that half a million [Iraqi] children have died. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima," Stahl said. "And, you know, is the price worth it?"
Madeleine Albright: "I think that is a very hard choice," Albright answered, "but the price, we think, the price is worth it."
She was lying as usual. There was nothing hard for the blood spattered toad to condemn to death half a million kids. Or 5 million. The people in the west still can't get used to the notion that the neocons and the MIC, are deranged maniacs without a shred of humanity left in them.
This war is nothing whatsoever like Iraq. This is the stock answer from Lavrov whenever he's asked to justify war. Is there nothing other than what aboutism for you?
@@litlnote-wu6yv your lack of insight regrettably, does not surprise me. I didn't say it was 'like' Iraq.
Connie, my lack of insight treats all reference to Iraq with the same contempt whenever it's raised for reasons already given.
Your dissembling does you no credit.
You are referring to murderous American intent, that the motivation behind NATO and the US is to destroy Russia by hook or crook regardless of the human cost.
What I see is a country seizing its moment in opposition to a vicious, colonialist neighbour.
Occam's razor operates here. Ukraine's choice is this, fight and achieve independence or submit to a particularly unpleasant dictatorship which will see no option but to crackdown on what it so regretfully describes as a deluded Slavic rebelliousness, already a process in operation permitted by Russia's hegemonic exceptionalism.
Your choice is whether you need to scratch or not to scratch your arse while posting facile irrelevancies.
@@litlnote-wu6yv you speak so freely about what I do or don't say while postulating on a subject matter of deep complexity that seems to confound even the most knowledgeable.
And it would seem your observation is a possible contradiction in terms.
Anyway, razor blades and exceptionalism apart you finish with an insult again, whilst glorying is in your own bombast and hubris. You appear to be part of the problem?
God, I love Prof Sachs. His intelligence and integrity give me some hope, slight as it is, that the tide can be turned against the growing darkness spread by US empire. Ever more people must hear these perspectives and weigh for themselves where the truth lay on Ukraine, China, etc.
On a side note, as a Canadian citizen, I can't express the depth of my disappointment and despair in the actions of my government in perpetuating the Ukraine conflict. The propaganda I witness in Canadian media and in the statements of government officials makes me want to scream. Nobody is thinking. It's beyond shameful.
As a canadian citizen I strongly support Ukrainian people in their struggle for liberty, independence and territorial integrity.
I am proud of our federal government that is at the forefront supporting Ukrainian people.
Moral bankrupt people like Sachs and co, supporting Russian barbaric invasion should be ashamed.
Feel the same frustration living in the US. Doubt if Canadian propaganda can beat our propaganda.
The consequences being if support for Ukraine stops?
My government (the danish) is just as pro-ukraine as yours, and I am satisfied by that, even proud of it. And I am glad that the british, german, french, finnish, swedish, norwegian dutch, spanish, czech, slovakian, italian, polish, bulgarian and other governments thinks the same way. All these governments consisting of well educated, well informed and democratic elected people - and their supporting officials - are WRONG according to mr. Sachs. It is pathetic. Maybe our differences is due to the fact that we live on different shores of the Atlantic? Who knows?
@@Bjoernandersen the truth is always spoken by a small minority. The majority will always believe a lie. “ Narrow is the path that leads to heaven and few will pass through it”.
Not "Canada" nor "Canadians" , but Canadian Government and corporations . They are very separate and distinct entities .
nonsense . every single western country and all its citizens have been saying throughout their disgusting brainwashed history about how great their system is because they CHOSE the people who represent them. you cannot say your system is great, and anyone who doesn't use your system is "Evil, brainwashed, etc" then turn around and say "it's not our fault". typical white culture- deny responsibility, refuse to acknowledge apologise and atone, heap self-praise, then insist it's all history and repeat ad infinitum. disgusting
